    Service 248M is a variant of 248, a route that goes from Tuas Terminal near Tuas Link MRT to Tuas South to loop. Unlike its non M-suffixed counterpart, 248M serves an extra loop at Tuas South Boulevard. The route serves 1 more stop than 248, and as a result, operated only 8 hours a day: 4 hours in the morning (8am-11am) and 4 in the evening (4pm-8pm). During this period, 248 will not operate and likewise, 248M will not operate when 248 operates. 248 and 248M share multiple common features on its route: It shares an express sector along Tuas South Avenue 5, initiates a big loop throughout Tuas South, and frequently deploy double decker buses: B9TL, and occasionally an A95.

      Service 248 was introduced under BSEP (Bus Service Enhancement Programme), while 248M was introduced under BCM (Bus Contracting Model). A number of routes have a M-suffix with minor alterations of the parent service, these include:
      182/182M
      182M only serves Tuas Checkpoint towards Joo Koon Interchange ONLY, while 182 serves Tuas Checkpoint towards BOTH Joo Koon Interchange and Tuas South. Like 248/248M, 182M operates as a peak-hour replacement of 182.
      16/16M
      16M serves Bukit Merah Town Centre (BMTC), detouring from the existing route of 16, which directly goes to Bukit Merah Interchange, skipping BMTC. Unlike the other two mentioned earlier, 16M acts as alternate departures of 16 during Peak-hours.
      961/961M
      961M serves Marina Centre in both directions, to Lorong 1 Geylang and Woodlands. 961M operates as the Sunday/Public Holiday Variant of 961. It is the only service to ply Raffles Avenue and Raffles Boulevard that allows passengers to stay on. Other service do not allow this, as they terminate at Marina Centre Terminal, which is not for passenger boarding or alighting.

      Hi fellow Discoverers! If you are keen on Singapore buses and want to know more do check out Aridchannel's channel for more videos 😁
      There are many bus enthusiasts but Arid has been the most vocal and (to me) most knowledgeable on the bus history in Singapore 🇸🇬🚍👏

      Yeah. Waiting for when the new tuas port will be completed. Maybe another bus service will go even further south. Tuas is way too large to cover it with just 1 bus service. Still got the boon lay and jalan kukoh area. Probably another bus ride for another time 🤣
